Very beautiful rug! Just as pictured and described. I was worried when I ordered, but the price is really good and wanted to give it a try. Now I am super happy with my decision. The color is beautiful, light blue. My picture shows a little bit purple-ish, not sure why, but the color is exactly blue as shown in the product pic. It is very thick and very good quality, works well in my living room. It did have some chemical smell when i just opened it, I left it in the yard for a day and the smell went away. It did shed, but not a lot. I vacuumed it before putting it in the room, so now it is fine. Would strongly recommend this rug.
